I'm of the opinion that cigar sales generally would experience a sharp increase in demand if every 'Torcedor' looked like Marie at Leon, I'd even pay more if I could guarantee that they had been made in the traditional manner (i.e. rolled on the thighs).

Hmmm. I used to work about 4 blocks from there. Never knew it was there. You learn something new everyday.
